Korg UK has just leaked the PS-3000 FS: the reissue of one of Korg’s rarest and sought after synthesizers!

Here the specs:

49 keys / 49 voice analog polyphony (the original model had 48 keys / voices)

3 Layers: The PS-3300 consists of three synthesizer units (PSU-3301) and a mixer & utility section (PSU-3302)

Three independent oscillators, plus multiple filters, envelopes and amplifiers for every note on its keyboard, for a total of 147 synth voices of raw analog power

Microtuning knob x12 on each PSU-3301 unit

New panel memory function (16 programs per bank and 16 banks = 256 slots)

Modernised for contemporary music use with the inclusion of USB / MIDI jacks, and a dedicated librarian app for easy preset management

Semi-modular

3-Band Resonator: Three frequency bands can be emphasised, a feature unique to the PS-3300 (original was a Cadmium sulfide circuit, but it was replaced with modern components for safety and to comply with regulations)

Keyboard unit (PS-3010) included

A very cool news indeed :grinning:

Reckon quite a bit more than an Arp. It’s got 49 voices!

That would be amazing, but considering this has a total of 147 analog voices I’d be surprised if they can offer it below 10K.

I’m very excited about Korg bringing back this classic. It’s not gonna be affordable, but the R&D will definitely find its way into to feature products that will hopefully be more accessible.

Ironically the only people that will be able to afford these are the people that already have the original lol

Retail eh; so maybe $12,000 as the online price… :slight_smile:

That’s surprisingly cheap for 144 VCFs, 144 VCAs and 36 VCOs in a walnut casing if you ask me.
